MONTH: 24 hours with Tiffany Patterson on Vimeo.
Description: In March 2K10 a group of local Spokanite creatives took over the Kolva-Sullivan Gallery (115 S. Adams, Spokane, WA) with continuous 24 hour residencies. It was an art installation/social experiment and a giant party we called 'MONTH'.
Driving home the other day I begged Jacinda to stop at a nature park we go by every day. I have been dreaming of the photos I would take. It started pouring and the light was marvelous. This is my favorite shot I snapped when the rain let up. 
Flikr is calling to me...."Tiffany, pay the stupid fee - you NEED me!"
The next time I pop into the gallery will be tomorrow for "A Romantic Evening with Boys Who Like Butterflies" Naaman (above) and John. We will be discussing the nature of gender, performance, and contemporary art.
Karla Dagovitz blew me away today! Such a pretty lady dripping down down I found, as I entered the gallery this afternoon. There had been a change in the schedule and Karla got the 14th through the 15th (when one of the artist had to cancel). Megan Martins had the 13th creating a family tree with a forest of red stings hanging down. I love that Karla took those lines and repeated them with her lovely 'Sierra' lady dripping into a dead crow on the ground.
I helped Dara Harvey bring some stuff in (including her fence). She even brought down her sewing machine...can't wait to see it tomorrow. We are holding our monthly RiverSpeak meeting in the space. How fun is that?!?
I am seeing a trend....little notes to the outside world seem to be stacking up inside the Kolva!
It is almost to the point that I cannot stand being in the space...way to excited for Thursday! I am starting to gather my supplies and I put out my Facebook event! I'm calling it Tiffany Patterson's 24 hour MONTH stay and post Birthday madness! Of course encouraging everyone to come make art with me, drink wine, and the most important....bring GOLD GLITTER! Oh such plans I have. I might add that it will take a full pickup truck load to get my "plans" down there!
My Birthday is on St. Patties day along with my anniversary (holy crap how 5 years flies by)! So, this being said, my posts of MONTH will be less frequent up until Thursday...many things to take care of in the mean time.
Grace didn't want to leave!
Then Patrick and Mariah showed up.
Mariah has promised worm bins tomorrow....so I will sneak over after work to grab a photo. I have to say that there is so much wonderful creative energy in the gallery and if you are able you've got to stop in!
Tonight was Conrad Bagley at the Kolva Sullivan Gallery. We were treated to a dinner party with homemade East Indian food. My particular favorite was the Lamb Curry. I brought Conrad a coconut which Killer Jillian Foster (of Black Rabbit Magic) took care of. A chop stick, wine opener and then later the cement floor proved handy.
I snuck out early but not before seeing the start of Conrad's tapestry. There was wonderful food and company! This show is reminding me how great it is to live in this lovely city. The Habein family tomorrow (not said how you would think) with their daughter Grace...a budding young artist. This followed by a good friend and creator of the very popular Spovangelist blog, Mariah McKay. We've been promised worm bins!
Take that image and times it by 24. That is 'Month'. Except some days there are 3 artists, and some days there are dance parties, and this Tuesday a dinner party. Month is a community instillation happening right now as you read this.
I can't even wait till the 18th. I will be setting up my camera and making a little stop motion film of my stay! Here are a list of artist featured this month at the Kolva Sullivan Gallery...(5pm to 5pm the following day)
